An informative and engaging introduction to neurodiversity, designed to help start conversations between kids and their grownups.

This is a kids’ book about neurodiversity. Everything we do is because of how our brains work, and everyone’s brain is different. Seriously! But our world doesn’t always operate in a way that is accepting of each brain type.

This book helps kids aged 5-9 understand the importance of celebrating the unique ways in which our brains help us learn, feel, and experience life. Neurodiversity makes our world beautiful and is worthy of celebrating!

A Kids Book About Neurodiversity features:
  • A large and bold, yet minimalist font design that allows kids freedom to imagine themselves in the words on the pages.
  • A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
  • An incredible and diverse group of authors in the series who are experts or have first-hand experience of the topic.

Tackling important discourse together!
